For you and whomever else needs to hear it, you can solve the second part by going to https://duckduckgo.com/settings and saving the bookmark with all the options included. Then you can clear all the cookies you want and it'll always load the same settings.

    If you're using cookies. In general https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ is the way to go otherwise

    Sorry, I wasn't as clear in my original post.

    At the bottom of the settings page you can generate a "bookmarklet" that includes the config options in your URL. So https://duckduckgo.com/ becomes https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=t if I want the Terminal color scheme. And this works without cookies. And this applies for all possible settings.

    Interestingly I set my home page to a string that should disable all the AI features and I still got summaries sometimes so not sure if that's a bug, user error, or hostile UI. In either case, something like you suggest with https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?kae=t&etc=... should give you the best of both worlds.
